Comments[edit]

I feel a discussion is necessary in regards to considering the ALMA's a racist organization. Any organization awarding a specific ethnicity and excluding specific ethnicity's must be at least considered racist by definition. I understand it may have been formed to balance the racism seen in the traditional award organizations. In perspective it is very offensive and should be considered as bigotry. Now this is not part of the article and is merely a discussion and objecting opinions are welcome and invited. Evidence the ALMA's art not prejudicial and racist is welcomed. As it sits it is openly racist and no excuse or explanation has been offered. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.210.99.116 (talk) 02:59, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is not the appropriate forum for such a discussion (which is itself rather absurd, by the way) ... write them an email.— TAnthony^Talk 03:32, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If so explain... your statement is unsupported...introduce something for discussion on why this is absurd... I don't think you have an argument. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.209.94.40 (talk) 15:47, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This being the discussion page no matter how absurd or inflammatory it is the most reasonable area to discuss an individuals opinion on a specific article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamesinklebarger (talk • contribs) 15:56, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The IP editor is not discussing the article, he/she is discussing the topic itself (the ALMA Award) which is a waste of time because it is not our place as editors to debate the subjects of articles, but rather how they are presented at Wikipedia. Is your goal in this to at some point introduce your above opinions into this article in some way as a means to describe the awards/organization? Any introduction of this racist argument into the article would be original research, POV and not neutral unless there is a reliable, verifiable external source which has made this argument. And to clarify my previous comment, the idea that these types of awards and groups are racist and offensive is ridiculous, but even if I am the only one who thinks so, this is not the place for this type of discussion. — TAnthony^Talk 18:58, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
